You will never know how calming your videos are to me. I'm a school teacher and I try to watch (or re-watch) one of your videos in the morning while I have breakfast in order to set the tone for my hectic days. Your videos -- the music, your soft voice, your cute kids, the educational aspect of growing your own food to ensure better health -- all of it just brings a certain peace to my soul and mind that set me in the right mood for work. Thank you so much and please don't stop producing them!

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

You're so kind, Elsa!! Glad you find some enjoyment in our videos. We enjoy producing them, so it's wonderful to see you enjoy watching them!!!

[@ABlueDahlia]

I like how RoseRed Homestead uses litmus paper to test the liquid foodstuffs before water bath canning just to make sure it's acidic enough. That might be something you could implement when you're unsure if you can water bath can it or not. You guys are so amazing, and I cannot thank you enough for producing content for all of us. Much love!

[@EmmaHope88]

Is this the point where I should shock people and tell you that people in other countries water can everything because pressure canners aren't a thing? It's actually a very American thing. There are some rules to follow when doing it, especially when it comes to meat, poultry, fish and beans. Those are the things where botulism is the biggest concern.

[@SophialifeandAdamlife]

Can we have another pantry tour when this season is close to done? Please?

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Of course! Usually mid November is when we finish up all the preserving.

[@kirkdodson6754]

When I was younger. my family would go to gardens to get seconds.... Worked great for us!

[@AlinaGhost]

As a British person I enjoyed the sarcasm :) you do a great job well done!

[@davidospina5216]

Hi Alina how are you doing today

[@videossati]

I make ketchup with red pepper and apples, it's the best. 5 kg of tomatoes, 2 chickens, 10 red peppers, 5 apples, finely chop and cook until everything falls apart. Put everything in a blender and blend.then strain on a fine grater and put back on the stove, season to taste and cook until desired thickness, I cooked for another half hour.

[@aelovan27]

You inspire me so much in the garden and the kitchen! I hope you'll consider a pantry/freezer/cold storage walk-through again. You've given me so much to think about when it comes to layout and tools in the garden and what things I should be preserving and different ways to do that. Thank you!

[@dorothyrhodes4657]

You have shown me how labor intensive and how much work it truly is to raise all of your own food. I really appreciate you and your family. I enjoy your videos so much! Thank you!

[@erikalouwrens3992]

I don't think I have watched anyone who works harder!

[@Pixarification]

2:36 Isn't she just touching your soul with her eyes there? .... She isssss.. 🥰 Oh and btw... we need theose Mason jars in Poland, there are avaliable in just a few places, what makes them really expensive. 😮‍💨

[@ioanagherman5952]

Remember when I was maybe your daughter age when I help with canning my grandma and my mom, a lot off working but worthed, love it,also love to work in the garden ( we don't have that big like yours).We also go in the woods for blackberry for canning, porcini mushrooms from woods mix with vegetables (onions,roasted bell peppers),taste amazing even my grandma never measure. God bless you guys, God keep you under His protection. Oh,in late fall we pick up rose hips and grandma make preserves.

[@chels67]

Love how you wrap the fruit leather! I've been cutting mine with scissors, but thinner, then giving them 2 strips cut in half. I've been wrapping them in plastic wrap for quick grab school lunches

[@louisefourie5846]

So beautiful when couples work in unity 🙌

[@jeanneamato8278]

I’m tired just watching you. What a wonderful close family you are. A sense of humor is the most necessary ingredient.

[@P3rmissionD3ni3d]

Those children are so lucky.

[@joannak4640]

It's always so exciting to see a new video pop up on my screen! You all are doing so a amazing with the gardening and preserving this year. It's too bad about the corn 💔 Looks like you need another high tunnel for a longer extension to the growing season. Those green beans would've been perfect in there. No matter, as I'm sure you know exactly what you are doing. You preserve the most fabulously delicious looking food!! Gonna go watch again 😂 P.S. I was happy to see you use more additives for your soil 👍 I hope you get a wonderful crop of broccoli

[@teedub1990]

In your hunt for your perfect BBQ sauce, have you considered incorporating some korean elements? Gochujang or gochugaru? Perhaps using balsamic vinegar instead of ACV? I know you are trying to use all home grown or made but as Stacy says "there are supermarkets for a reason." Good luck on finding your One True Sauce 😀

[@kimlettau4167]

Beautiful! Great job and what great little helpers! Well the hubby too! Lol.

[@davidospina5216]

Hi Kim how are you doing today

[@sarah_farm]

Your videos are a feast for the eyes and the soul, my friend. The way you tell stories is both captivating and inspiring. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.

[@AdamChenevert]

Your kids are having the childhood I wish I'd had

[@shellyholmes6652]

You and your family are so amazing. I love all the thought and work you put into your videos. Very educational and inspiring.

[@movingnaturefilms]

Green Magic is amazing. I had no pests or diseases and nice tight 8-10" heads grown in southern Minnesota.

[@sgrvtl7183]

so cute your daughter sneaking in behind you (minute 2:26)

[@hicoastie]

Love seeing your whole family so involved. They are learning valuable lessons. The syringe was a nice idea.

[@QuiteQuietASMR]

I love love love that dark orange apron you were wearing when you were making the tomato bbq sauce! Soo cute!

[@bonniearmbruster8401]

Love that you are a family doing all this together ❤️

[@geraldineyoung9401]

I miss your videos! I hope all is well with your family.

[@mariasonderman5785]

What a treat to be able to watch your peaceful video in the middle of a hectic day!

[@curiousplantivore]

I really love your family and your videos hey! I'm out here trying to get a freezer dryer in Africa because I've seen the cool stuff you guys do but then I'm like "Girl, it costs way too much, keep dreaming!" 🤣

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

One thing I enjoy is how tidy you are with your preserving.

[@fernandom1299]

I am loving this harvesting and preserving series!!

[@caramaloney482]

I love watching you in the kitchen

[@ashleighadams5701]

I absolutely love the style of your videos! All of your preservings is so encouraging as well!

[@kristiebaker7125]

Love topping the ketsup with the syringe! Love how the whole family is involved. Kris in Orlando

[@OpenHandFarm]

You and your family are amazing! I did a lot of canning this year but it was a drop in the bucket compared to you! I so wish I had started my young family out on a farm like you! You are so blessed!!!

[@meagansingleton3082]

I had a few late nights preserving this past summer and every one of those I thought about you after seeing some of your older videos from last summer and knew you were probably right there pushing through late at night along with me :)

[@marshhomestead4963]

My favorite store bought BBQ sauce is Sweet Baby Rays. Heather from The Kneady Homesteader made an Almost Sweet Baby Rays sauce that is incredible. I canned it this year for the first time and it will be a staple in my house for sure. Just thought if you’re interested. Great video as always. ❤

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Thank you! I'll look into it!

[@ourmodernhomestead2974]

do you have a recipe for that I am not sure which video she has the recipe on. thank you

[@Southernson-dy5nq]

Always enjoy your videos. Love your dedication to growing and preserving your garden bounty. God Bless

[@karenzorn773]

Loved this video, you all are just amazing, keep up what your doing. Great content as usual.

[@judymay4469]

Yet another wonderful video! I love watching you guys, and your choice of music to accompany the videos is beautiful ❤

[@bonniearmbruster8401]

My favorite channel love you guys!

[@jenalyncarabeo4391]

you are such an inspiring and hardworking wife and mom! you are a treasure to your family... i also love how everybody helps in the preservation and gardening... very admirable! God bless you all! love from the Philippines😊❤️🇵🇭

[@sgrvtl7183]

LOVED the video ~ always SO good. I love/miss gardening, harvesting, & preserving. Your videos fulfill that part of me ~thank you for sharing~!

[@ChristineSpringerElaine]

I was excited about canning too, until I realized how much work it is. I did way more dehydrating this year. As much as I love the idea of self-sufficiency, it really is a lot of work. Thanks for your videos!

[@buildingadream]

love this,all of this!

[@anastasiarustemovski7062]

It's so nice to watch you guys. Your videos are so inspiring. We would love to have a farm like that to grow everything ourselves and have our own animals. Keep up the good work!☺️ Greetings from Switzerland🇨🇭

[@timervin5298]

I just love you and your family and the beautiful and pure life you have created on your homestead! 💗 I’m picky like you when it comes to sauces and salsas, etc so I really appreciate that you share your experiences and favorites with us. Also, this video was a pleasure to watch - your editing skills are excellent! Much love from Colorado, Margo E.

[@carolclarkson4859]

Really enjoy watching your videos. Now is the time for preservation. We keep our freeze dryer running around the clock. Did salsa and it turned out amazing.

[@rbeaver6769]

Haha...I feel your pain when making ketchup! I did one batch this year and split it over two days and that seemed to help. I'm going to test it again next week with two more batches to make sure. Thank you for the videos! I'm really enjoying seeing what other folks are preserving and the methods they are using. You are making great use of your freeze dryer! I am going to check into that book you mentioned!

[@herhomeandharvest]

I always love watching your videos! Peach fruit leather sounds amazing. I’m definitely going to try that with my peaches next year!

[@amyk6028]

Great video! You are living my dream 👍🏼 So far, I love and appreciate all your recipes so thank you for sharing ❤

[@kathrynnicole831]

Fruit ninja has nothing on this corn leveling thing! A machete job ~sign me up! Said every kid… ever! 😂

[@peaceONearth365]

[@spanky12310]

You do such a good job !! 👍👍 BEAUTIFUL FAMILY ❤️✝️ 👍👍

[@jkoperski9925]

I love your videos. This is my dream. And I am working towards it with love. Thank you for being inspiring and a visual reminder of peace and beauty. Thank you.

[@bonniearmbruster8401]

Love your channel!

[@chelinfusco6403]

I finally was able to steal time to watch your video (which I really enjoy). Your hard work and that of your family pays off. Look at that beautiful pantry! Not to mention all the goodies in the freezer. I would love to have a Fall garden, but the only thing I will plant is garlic, maybe onions too. Love, just love seeing all you do. So inspiring.

[@FreedomForestFarm]

I can’t wait to try out that peach bbq sauce recipe. It sounds delicious! Thank you for sharing ❤

[@시골조아]

Nice view.!

[@nurseally86]

I’m so excited to see how the broccoli turns out!!! Good luck!!!

[@tundemarkus-racz5144]

I think I have found this salsa recipe in the hungarian edition of The Art of Preserving called "Fried tomato sauce with garlic". It's amazing!!! My family loves it, so I preserved 30 jars sauce. In our garden we have sour cherry, apricot and plum, i have made some fuit leather too. I love your preserving videos, thank you for your work and sharing! I am waiting for the "book video", you have mentioned once earlier, hope you will do it when preserving season ends.

[@annaannushka1201]

Amazing job 💪🏻🫶🏻🙏🏻❤️‍🔥

[@Anne-vd6oh]

I was just thinking this morning i wonder when your next post will be and here it is. Amazing as always.

[@cj6732]

You're living my perfect life.

[@juliamallon2948]

Great Video

[@SheriLatulip]

I used to make stuffed peppers and freeze them with the raw mixture meat.

[@chelnieimproso7289]

Thanks...,☺️

[@marylafrance9547]

funny my hubby made bbq sauce with peaches too. I had extra peach " light syrup" from canning left over and he used it!

[@mestark9381]

More pantry views!!! So cool

[@SwampyAcresHomestead]

New here thanks for sharing have a blessed day

[@summerlove0426]

Another option: grind up the corn stalks (becomes silage) & is a great feed for livestock during the winter.

[@gina4206]

I pray that you and all my other favorite people who homestead on KZbin are safe. Sometimes, as I watch n learn things, I become worried or scared for you all. There is true evil in this world pls be careful!

[@rebeccasladky1138]

Please get one of those chopper things for your onions does bell peppers to.

[@ittybit922]

I’d love to see how you organize your freezers! I always lose things in mine

[@nanners3333]

The best bbq sauce I’ve made/tried is Becky from Acre Homestead’s Rhubarb BBQ sauce! It’s so good!

[@sheilak04]

Maybe next year you can add a solar electric fence to protect your crops from raccoons and other critters. Thats not fun when they eat your hard work. Its so fun to see you persevere all those crops you all worked hard on. My son would be right out there helping your son cut down the corn stalks. Lol I can see why he enjoys it. Thank you for the different recipe ideas.. they look real yummy..🤗

[@kelleynrothaermel2311]

You must like your salsa super spicy. That was a lot of peppers!

[@tipgiles5432]

When deseeding jalapeños I use a grapefruit spoon/ citrus spoon. Does a quick job of it. Have you looked into Souper Cubes for freezing some of you sauces, broth etc. I just got some and find them very helpful. I've thus far frozen chicken broth and chili in them. I got the one cup and two cup sizes. Once the item if fully frozen, I put in vacuum seal bags and seal. I find storage in our small freezer is better with these. Joy Giles

[@meganrichter9748]

you can use pH test strips to find out whether things are acidic enough if you want to follow your own recipe or your own taste buds :)

[@hollymiller1253]

What a good tip, thank you!

[@TRuth.T]

Love all you have been sharing. I just want to mention nightshade & lectins often cause Inflammation...

[@bkodra]

"The family that cans together, stays together."

[@hickoryhillinthebigwoods-r759]

Beautiful work! And the family working together is the best part. Who do you keep your garlic from going bad? Mine is spoiled. All rotten and hollow. I am so upset.

[@paulgerg6879]

Always love your stuff and look at it the moment I see it on my feed. You seem so much more professional and knowledgeable these days and anything you talk about is always so interesting. I am finally on an allotment in the UK, you inspired me to apply and I am so glad I did. It is 32mtr x 6mtr and covered in 6 months of weed growth with a rotting shed and a broken glasshouse but I am loving the thought of the challenge. The previous owner left it in a real state but I have spotted blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, apple and pear trees and rhubarb whilst weeding and am harvesting already. You and your family are always a bright moment in my day, wishing you all the good things and a bountiful cropping year :)

[@margaretashton2693]

That is so cool! Best of luck with your allotment. ❤

[@ryanlane2851]

Do you have a video explaining all of the equipment you use for preserving? Awesome content. Thanks for sharing

[@siphosethumathebula187]

❤❤❤❤

[@rik80280]

I feel like a mix of hybrids and open pollinated gives you the best of both worlds. You get the specialized hybrids for more production (earlier, better disease resistance, etc.), but you also can save seeds (or get volunteers) from the stable open pollinated varieties. It doesn't make sense to me not to take advantage of the specialized breeding programs when they have done so much good work (especially for tomatoes (disease resistance) and cauliflower (earliness)!). We don't need to abandon all the old varieties to take advantage of some new ones.

[@LidijaLesich]

Absolutely love watching your videos . Learning so much from you so thank you!! I'm also in LOVE with your overalls. Where do you purchase them? I'm in Australia hoping to buy online and this would be the perfect attire for farming 😅

[@marir6815]

Could you please link the sheets you use for the fruit leather? The dehydrator doesn’t come with those and I want to make sure I get the good ones you use 😉 thank you so much for these videos!! I have my dehydrator going now thanks to you 💕 You look amazing btw! You may be getting more sleep or just the happiness of the harvest! 😊 and your kids rock! How much they help you 🤩

[@kaylapilon1447]

I picked up 2 1/2 Bushels of #2 peaches this year and I had maybe one or two that had a bruise they just where not perfectly shaped

[@Selahhavenhomestead]

Please post more often

[@pastorpdsmith]

The caterpillars have been bad on my broccoli here in NWA! Picking them off daily!

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Yes, they are intense this year!

[@cathydavis9259]

To keep raccoons from eating your corn, plant pumpkins with the corn. The raccoons keep an eye out for predators while they eat. Pumpkin leaves are so large that raccoons are too afraid and they will stay away. The extra pumpkins can go to the farm animals. It’s a win win.

[@grannaboo03]

Thanks for sharing your processes, in your garden & Kitchen. May I ask about your range/ ovens? We are in the process of building our home…I need to go electric…but I am concerned about not being able to CAN on some of the Glass tops. Could you do a short video about your set up? It might be helpful to know the pros & cons.

[@LittleKi1]

I have killed a glass top electric stove by canning. I now have a CampChef camp stove that I use to can outside.

[@juliamallon2948]

If a particular crop does not do well like the corn, what do you do? Buy from neighbors to have over the winter or live without?

[@darcyflanagan1111]

❤

[@taneriapollins9225]

I love you kitchen I would to know what stoves you have? Are those quartz counter tops? Would you change anything about the kitchen?

[@rosabelliwag3835]

Your daughter so cute ....

[@feltlikeitbydebs]

so enjoying your videos. My question is ... how do you plant beans when the corn stalks are still in the ground? Debs from Down Under

[@stefaneesmith2636]

Have you tried making bbq sauce with ruhbarb instead of tomato base? I was very dissapointed with all the tomato recipies and a friend of mine suggested ruhbarb and i am not a ruhbarb fan but i had to start growing ruhbarb once i made the recipie it was absolutelt amazing
